Captain America actor Chris Evans could be hanging up the shield after Avengers 4, but he’s not quitting acting altogether, of course. Deadline is reporting that Evans will star alongside James Bond actor Daniel Craig in a new movie from Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Knives Out is a contemporary murder-mystery movie that Johnson wrote himself. Craig is expected to play a detective in the film, but there is no word on the role Evans may play. For now, his involvement in Knives Out is only a rumour, so take it with a grain of salt.

Essentially nothing is known about Knives Out, but Johnson told Deadline in September that it’s inspired by his admiration for Agatha Christie books and how they are filled with twists and turns.

Some of Evans’ other upcoming movies include a starring role in the The Red Sea Diving Resort, which retells the story of the rescue of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants in 1981. Evans is also pegged to star in District 9 director Neil Blomkamp’s thriller Greenland. However, Knives Out is expected to be Evans’ next movie, according to Deadline.

There is no word on a release date for Knives Out. Johnson is a busy man, as he is also set to direct three more Star Wars movies at some point in the future.

As for the next Avengers movie, the currently untitled fourth film is due out in April 2019. It comes with a mountain of anticipation, given the stirring and unexpected events of Infinity War.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, like many other AAA games, allows players to spend real money on various microtransactions. With the game now available, we’ve learned all about the items you can purchase using the franchise’s Helix Credit system.

You can purchase Helix Credits in five different packages:

• Base Pack — 500 Helix Credits ($5 USD/$7.55 AUD/£4.29 UK)
• Small Pack — 1050 Helix Credits ($10 USD/$14.95 AUD/£8.59 UK)
• Medium Pack — 2400 Helix Credits ($20 USD/$29.95 AUD/£16.99 UK)
• Large Pack — 4600 Helix Credits ($35 USD/$52.95 AUD/£29.99 UK)
• Extra Large Pack — 7400 Helix Credits ($50 USD/$75.95 AUD/£41.99 UK)

There are loads of different things you can buy with Helix Credits. Starting off, you can purchase a number of “time-saver” bundles with Helix Credits, including various allotments of the in-game currency, Drachmae, as well as packs that come with materials like wood and pelts that you would otherwise find in the world.

You can also purchase permanent XP and Drachmae boosts that offer 50 percent more XP and Drachmae than normal. The permanent XP boost costs 1000 Helix Credits, while the bundle that gets you 50 percent boosts for XP and Drachmae costs 1500 Helix Credits.

What’s more, you can purchase maps that reveal the locations of things like legendary chests, ancient tablets, and more.

There are also microtransactions specific to ships in the form of various different designs for sails, figureheads, and outfits for your crew. You can also purchase various gear packs for your character, as well as skins for your horse that turn it into a unicorn or even a pegasus (but it doesn’t appear to be able to actually fly). Additionally, you can buy swords, spears, and staffs individually or through sets.

You can visit Odyssey’s store to see everything there is to buy with microtransactions. GameSpot’s Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey review scored the game an 8/10.

“Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s ambition is admirable, which is reflected in its rich attention to detail for the era and its approach to handling the multi-faceted narrative with strong protagonists at the lead,” reviewer Alessandro Fillari said. “While its large-scale campaign–clocking in at over 50 hours–can occasionally be tiresome, and some features don’t quite make the impact they should, Odyssey makes great strides in its massive and dynamic world, and it’s a joy to venture out and leave your mark on its ever-changing setting.”

Avengers 4 will serve as the culmination of a years-long story arc, and if Avengers: Infinity War is any indication, it could lead some of our heroes to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. In an emotional thank you, Chris Evans (who plays Steve Rogers aka Captain America) seemed to indicate it could be his own character on the chopping block–or at least we’re meant to think he is.

Calling it an “emotional day” and noting the amount of time he played the character definitely implies a sense of finality, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Cap is a goner. Joe and Anthony Russo, who directed Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers 4, have gone to great lengths to protect plot reveals–even going so far as to produce a fake-out version of a scene for the Infinity War trailer that never appeared in the finished film.

It’s possible Evans was recruited by the Russos to set out audience expectations so they can be subverted later. It’s also possible, of course, that he is putting the character to bed and sincerely got caught up in the moment. Or all this tea-leaf reading is meaningless because he was just showing appreciation to the crew after a very long shoot.

For the time being, fans are attempting to guess the title of the next movie, which Marvel has kept carefully under wraps. Writer Christopher Markus said the next film will be very different, summarizing it as: “We broke your heart. Now we’re going to blow your mind.”
